Freshmen class nurses showed signs this
week of definitely adjusting to their new life
as students at USF, the FOGHORN nursing
correspondent reported.
Initially as timorous as Sabine co-eds at
Roman U., the sixty female frosh have infiltrated clubs, social life, and are making a
spirited attempt to come to grips with the
intellectual life.
"I'm just wild about USF," said frosh nurse
Sue McKell. "The men of the university have
an air of sophistication about them which is
really too much. Why, walking down the campus, one feels as if one is pageing through
Esquire magazine!"

'White Steed* plot of:
'Semi-fascist cleric
A "semi-fascist cleric's"
ultra-high morality is pitted
against Irish colleen's nonconformity in The College
Player's current production
of Paul Vincent Carroll's controversial "White Steed."
The production, staged at the
USF little Theater, began last
night and will continue through
Sunday.
Tony Harrison, president of the
College Players, in an unprecedented move, has invited the
student body officers and clubs'
presidents, with their dates, to
attend the Friday night performance as his guests.
A Broadway hit, the Steed was
banned in Ireland when Carroll
first offered it to the Celtic
stage. Disenchanted by the narrow mindedness of the Irish producers, Carrol returned to America where "The Steed" succeeded
his "Shadow and Substance."
The plot, situated in a small
Irish village in County Louth immediately after the Irish War of
Independence, centers around a
priest's martial law leadership of
the community.
The priest, Fr. Shaunghassy, is
sent to take over the responsibilities of an aged pastor. On his
arrival, he immediately organizes
a civic vigilance committee and
launches a campaign to make
civil and moral law identical.
Nora Fintry, the female main
character, in refusing to accept
the priests's monastic moral code,
represents the spirit of pagan,

primeval Ireland. She becomes
the embodiment of the pre-Christian bazarre vagaries of the primitive Celts' spirit.
Tony Harrison portrays Father
Shaunghnassy and Theodora
O'Conner represents Nora Fintry.
John Collins, Players' director,
was initially plagued on how the
cast could adequately represent
the Irish brogue the production
demanded. His problem was
solved when he discovered that

Leading the Class of '65 this
year will be Russell Pitto as
president. He will be assisted by
Ray McDevitt, vice-president;

Gherini and Brian Dolan, representatives.
"Since we have the largest
class, I would like to unify it and
to develop a strong class spirit,"
said President Russ Pitto. "There
will be a monthly meeting with
the officers and at least two class
meetings a semester. As officers,
t we will strive to keep our class
informed of all USF activities.
By the way, we hope to sponsor
a couple of Happy Hours, if we
are able to obtain permission
from the proper authorities."
Teller keynotes
thinking man's
lecture series
By KEVIN STARR
Kdtte>r-in-l'hie'f
Special Events Committee Chairman Dan Ritter stirred
up a savory stew of fall lectures this week, peppering the pot
with such pungent guest speakers as Edward Teller, Mortimer
J. Adler, Erik Ritter von Kuehnelt-Leddihn, and Gabriel
Marcel.
Margery packs postcards
When Margery Michelmore packs up her postcards and has another try at Peace Corps-ing in
Puerto Rico, she will join a recent USF graduate,
presently in training at that Carribean commonwealth. Kenneth M. Freeman, 23, of 1452 70th Ave.,
Oakland, left USF two years ago with a BA. in
history and has since been studying at the University of Mexico in Mexico City. Freeman was president of the historical society while at USF.
Thus far, Freeman is USF's only contribution to
President Kennedy's corps of young men and women trained to bring the American message to un
developed countries.
Interest in the Peace Corps has been flaccid at
USF. A recent talk at the university by Corps officials attracted only a token attendance.
Provided that Ken Freeman and Margery
Michelmore do not write any indiscreet postcards
on Puerto Rico mores and folkways, they shall
teach in secondary schools on the island.
Peace Corps officials in San Francisco plan to
schedule another talk at USF in the near future.
The FOGHORN encourages attendance—even if
only to ask about Miss Michelmore.
"We of the Special Events
Comimttee feel that this is the
most high powered, varied, and
thought-provoking lecture series
to be given on this campus in
many a moon," Ritter said.
The Series opened last Wednesday, October 11, with a lecture
by Rev. Brcnard Leeming, S.J.,
dean of the School of Theology,
Heythrop College, Oxford, on the
coming ecumenical council. Father Leeming, secretary to Cardinal
Bea in the planning and preparation of the council, analyzed the
significance of the council in
light of contemporary religious
trends. A crowd of over 400 attended the opening night lecture
Commenting on Dr. Edward
Teller's lecture, scheduled for
this Sunday, October 22, at 8 p.m.,
Ritter said: "The resumption of
nuclear tests on both sides of the
Iron Curtain has renewed attention to the question of the morality of THE BOMB. Since Dr. Teller has ben caled the principal
architect of the bomb, we of the
Committee believe that the immediacy of the threat of destruction, coupled with the proximity
of Dr. Teller to the problem, provides the best motivation to attend this lecture."
Dr. Teller, professor-at-large of
physics at UC and associate director of the radiation laboratory
there, will entitle his lecture,
"The Legacy of Hiroshima: Slavery or Union of the Free?"
Thursday at 8 p.m., November
2. will witness a return of Dr.
Mortimer J. Adler to the campus
under the aegis of the SEC. Last
May, Ritter pointed out, "over
1000 souls converged on Phelan
Hall to her Dr. Adler discuss the
freedom of the will." "Dr. Adler,

the Western World and Director
of the Institute for Philosophical

lecture in a crisp and refreshing

those seeking good seats to ai-
